(Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.arrow_forwardExplain at least three important roles for fungi growing in a temperate deciduous forest. What would happen if all the fungi in these forests went extinct? Explain, in detail, why ferns are better adapted for life on land than mosses. Explain how the structure of hyphae (and a mycelium) relates to the function of these cells.arrow_forward

The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work. A-You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.
